## Summary

The procurement process titled "VMWare 2026" was conducted by Cardiff University, a public body in the education sector. The contract, classified under the industry category of Software package and information systems, is for a call-off from the SLRA. The procurement was completed in Cardiff, United Kingdom, with key procurement activities concluding on 2nd June 2026. This process was handled through a limited procurement method, meaning there was no prior publication of a call for competition, and falls outside the scope of standard directive applications, as outlined in the legal framework. The awarded contract, valued at £82,539.52, was signed on the same date with CDW Limited serving as the supplier. Despite being part of a framework arrangement, the procurement was conducted without competitive tendering as per the framework's established call-off procedures. 

This tender presents a vital opportunity for businesses involved in the provision of software packages and information systems, particularly those already positioned within existing frameworks or capable of delivering specialized goods swiftly. Large-scale enterprises, such as CDW Limited, would find such opportunities particularly advantageous given the framework's specific call-off nature and the need for strategic partnerships that allow for expedient delivery. For businesses seeking growth, aligning with frameworks or collaborative ventures with public institutions like Cardiff University can offer additional procurement channels. Tailored for entities adept at navigating the public procurement landscape without open competition, this contract highlights the benefits of building strong relationships and understanding framework processes with central purchasing bodies.
